One year on....

I have added new album showing the different F-111 tail markings, including squadron, anniversary and special occasion schemes.
There is quite an array.
I still have to work out the time frames and add some more close ups, it's a work in progress.
If you know of any more schemes or have any photos please let me know.

Hi Martin,

I didn't see this variation of 6 Squadron's 60th Anniversary tail. This picture was taken in 2002, well after the anniversary which was in 1999.

Thanks Winston
When I added it to the Pig Tails gallery you can see how the anniversary markings evolved to the 6SQN Pigs Head on Blue Flash that appeared in the early 2000s
